Description

Here at the National Trust we are passionate about making a positive difference for people’s wellbeing, for people to be able to enjoy nature, make our properties more accessible and working hard to do all we can to help nature’s resilience to climate change.

We have a wonderful opportunity for the right individual to lead a diverse mix of projects across several properties in the Cotswolds. Through external funding, we have successfully secured monies that will deliver benefits across several properties, whether it be improving access tracks that could connect to the Cotswold Way National Trail providing an accessible route of over 34miles between properties, restoring boardwalks and walkways to be accessible to all, creating wellbeing walks in the landscape, restoring historic dry-stone walls, protecting iron-age hill ramparts, works to restore historic features such as a historic lake, historic buildings and more.

As the Cotswolds Vision Project Manager, you'll be joining a great team of people who not only have a wealth of expertise and experience in this area of work, but who are highly motivated, and passionate about working at pace and scale. As well as being part of team, you'll also be working with key partners, and stakeholders, leading small and medium projects that will deliver significant benefits for wildlife and people. Success will be built upon building strong relationships, partnership working and good leadership. The projects themselves offer a diverse blend of on-site property and external partnership project delivery.

If you are a confident and experienced Project Manager, we’d love to hear from you and if you have previous experience of writing funding applications, then that would be a bonus too!

What it's like to work here As the Project Manager you’ll be joining the organisation’s Project and Programme Management community, led by our central team with an ambition to establish a culture of excellence in delivery across the National Trust.

“There is nothing more fulfilling nor more rewarding than working alongside amazing colleagues in the Trust and building trusted, long-lasting relationships with key partners and stakeholders to achieve mutually beneficial legacies for people and for nature on a landscape-scale. Realising that the work you do creates amazing places for people and nature, engage people in our work, help make our landscapes more resilient is quite mind blowing! ..but at the same time, very humbling to think that you’re playing a very small part in the bigger picture”. NT Project Manager

What you'll be doing

The role will lead projects that have secured external funding, through feasibility, delivery until completion. Being externally funded, the role will not only lead in delivering projects across multiple National Trust sites and be the lead on partnership projects, but also seek opportunities that will further benefit people and nature, whilst meeting the objectives of the external funding organization. It will therefore be important to develop a good relationship with the external funding organization, to ensure that all legislative requirements are met from a financial perspective.

You’ll be working closely with the Property Team on the ground as well as the National Trust’s Regional Consultancy, which is a home to specialists of every area of our work, which is vast. You’ll be an integral part of this diverse and expert team, bringing your extraordinary range of creative and innovative thinking to your work in delivering these exciting projects for nature and people. Communication and collaboration will be key to success.

This role requires someone with excellent management and communication skills. You’ll possess the attitude and appetite to get things done in a way which includes everyone, resulting in work which sets the standard for what can be achieved with multifaceted delivery at scale for nature, whilst also being relevant and accessible to the local communities and visitors from all walks of life.
